The Spirit Of Man |
| I’m chasing a shadow, I can’t see a thing |
| It’s dipping and diving like a bird on the wing |
| And every time I get near it just seems to slip away; |
| There’s a fighter inside who will never give up |
| We are what we are and it’s never enough |
| Write the words in the sand that this man will come again; |
| You may run from the sea, and the words disappear |
| Oh you may fall to your knees |
| But the power is here, to survive; |
| It’s shining again |
| It’s shining again — the spirit of man |
| It’s shining again — the spirit of man; |
| Ah remember the first day of man on the moon |
| The whole world was watching, a whole world in tune |
| It was hard to believe he was the same as me and you; |
| Oh look back to the future and look down the years |
| It wasn’t all battles and bad news and tears |
| We have brought to this place a desire to have a dream; |
| We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky |
| Oh in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life; |
| It’s shining again — the spirit of man |
| It’s shining again — the spirit of man |
| It’s shining again — the spirit of man; |
| And we work — aha — for the good things that we can have |
| Yea we work — aha — for the family and home |
| Yea we work — aha — for the D-Mark and the dollar |
| Yea we work — aha — for the woman on the phone |
| Yea we work — aha — for that moment of elation |
| Yea we work — aha — for a chance to get away |
| And we work — aha — just to let imagination |
| Come inside and take me away; |
| We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky |
| Ooh in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life; |
| It’s shining again — the spirit of man |
| It’s shining again — the spirit of man |
| It’s shining again — the spirit of man |
